What is BS EN 3818 - Bolts in Titanium alloy about?
BS EN 3818 is a European standard on technical specifications for aerospace applications.
BS EN 3818 specifies the characteristics, qualification and acceptance requirements for bolts with MJ threads in TI-P64001, for aerospace applications.
Who is BS EN 3818 - Bolts in Titanium alloy for?
BS EN 3818 on bolts in titanium alloy is applicable to:
- Aerospace parts manufacturers
- Bolt manufacturers
- MJ Threads manufacturers
Why should you use BS EN 3818 - Bolts in Titanium alloy?
A bolt is a form of threaded fastener with an external male thread requiring a matching pre-formed female thread such as a nut. Bolts are very closely related to screws. Bolts are typically used to hold materials or objects together, or to position objects. The chamfer at the opposite end of the head provides a slightly bevelled edge which helps with inserting the bolt into holes and nuts.
In the field of aerospace, titanium has been applied for many years. Commercially pure titanium and titanium alloy as represented by Ti-6Al-4V are mainly used for the airframe and the engine parts respectively. The demand expansion of titanium has been expected due to realising low fuel consumption of aircraft.
MJ threads are Metric threads for aerospace used in aircraft, rockets and space stations.
